Powerline adapters give you an alternative way to extend your network
using your existing electrical wiring. Plug two or more Powerline adapters
into electrical outlets to create a wired network connection. Use a
Powerline WiFi Access Point to add a WiFi access point to your wired
network.
You can add up to 8 Homeplug AV-certified and AV2-certified adapters
to extend your network. For a complete list of Homeplug AV-certified
devices, visit http://www.homeplug.org/certified_products.

In the search field, type PowerLEAP.
Download the NETGEAR genie that corresponds to your OS
environment (Windows or Mac).
5. Run the file that you downloaded and follow the on-screen
instructions to install NETGEAR genie.
Add Adapters
To add adapters before you configure the security feature, just plug them
in and connect the adapters to your equipment.
¾¾ To add adapters to a Powerline network with security set:
1. Plug the adapter into a wall outlet where you want to add Internet
access.
15
2. If you used a private encryption key, press the Security button on
one of the adapters already a part of the network for two seconds,
then press the Security button on the new adapter for two seconds.
Both buttons must be pressed within two minutes.
3. Secure the Powerline network:
a. On any of the adapters, press and hold the Security button
for two seconds.
b. On any one of the other adapters, press and hold the
Security button for two seconds.
Both buttons must be pressed within two minutes.
Note: The Security button does not work in power saving mode
Do not press the Security button on the Powerline adapter until
installation is complete and the adapters are communicating with each
other (indicated by the blinking Power LED). Pressing this button too
soon can temporarily disable Powerline communication. If this occurs, use
the Factory Reset button to return the Powerline adapter to its factory
default settings.
4. Wait for the Powerline network to recognize each Powerline device.
This process could take as little as 5 seconds or up to 80 seconds.
16
When the Power LEDs stop blinking, the process is complete. If the
Pick A Plug LEDs are green or amber, the devices are successfully
connected to the Powerline network. A red Pick A Plug LED indicates
a slow link rate. In this case, move the Powerline device to another
electrical outlet with a faster connection.
5. If your adapter is a WiFi access point device, configure it for WiFi (see
Set Up WiFi Access on Your PowerLEAP on page 9).
17
Troubleshooting Tips
Power LED is off.
Make sure that power is supplied to the electrical
outlet, and that the Powerline devices are not plugged
into an extension cord, power strip, or surge protector.
Power LED is amber.
Power saving mode occurs when the Ethernet LED is
off. This can occur in the following circumstances:
Pick A Plug LED is off.
•
The Ethernet cable is unplugged.
•
The device connected through the Ethernet cable
is turned off.
•
The adapter is idle for 10 minutes.
It returns to normal mode within two seconds
after the Ethernet link is up.
•
If you already set network security, make sure
that all Powerline devices are using the same
encryption key; see the online user manual for
details.
•
Press the Factory Reset button on each device
for one second to return the Powerline adapter to
its factory default settings.
18
Pick A Plug LED is
amber or red.
Ethernet LED is off.
Something is interferring with communication between
adapters. To resolve this:
•
Move the adapters to another outlet.
•
Unplug devices that might be causing interference
such as surge suppressors and items with motors.
•
Make sure that the Ethernet cables are working
and securely plugged into the devices.
•
Press the Factory Reset button on each device
for one second to return the Powerline adapter to
its factory default settings.
